Copyright issues - NO. Trademark issues - YES, if you call the result Red Hat Linux. It's simply not Red Hat Linux. From what I've read, it is a very valuable project to a lot of people, but the result is not Red Hat Linux.
But Ed... nobody is calling the result "Red Hat Linux". Quote from the website at www.rule-project.org/en:
------------------------------------- Purposes of the project
* Modify the current Red Hat Linux installer so that it runs in less than 32 MB of RAM, or create a new one if needed (done)
* Select, test, and (if needed) package the system and desktop applications which give the greatest real functionality with the smallest consumption of CPU and RAM resources
* Create another installation option of the Red Hat Linux distribution (not another distribution, see the FAQ), containing all and only the packages above, optimized to run either a server, or a basic desktop on obsolete hardware with very little RAM and HD space.
* Promote and support (especially in developing countries) the use of this install option with schools, public and private organizations.
Please note that only the first point is really "restricted" to Red Hat. "Portings" to other distributions should not be too hard.
